Enjoy nature in a safe environment full of flora and fauna
Benito Juárez National Park is located in forested areas adjacent to the city of Oaxaca, in the municipalities of Oaxaca de Juárez, San Andrés Huayapam, and Tlalixtac de Cabrera. It covers 2,591 hectares that protect deciduous tropical forest, oak, and pine ecosystems, which are home to a wide variety of wildlife species.

The trails are marked, there are park rangers, and it's a safe and fun way to hike near the city without having to spend the whole day.
Depending on the time of year, it can be very lush and full of green plants and beautiful flowers (June–December), or feature autumn colors and a very dry atmosphere during the months of December to May.

The biodiversity of this area provides environmental services that promote air purification, hydrological and climate regulation, and the mitigation of extreme events. What's more, with its streams and springs, it helps ensure the availability of water to supply a large part of the city of Oaxaca and its surrounding municipalities.
